Better, safer storage for our music library.

3TFM was launched in 2008 to provide a local health and wellbeing and music radio offering to the people of the 3 Towns. It broadcasts on 103.1FM to the local area, and to the rest of the world on the Radio Garden app. As well as broadcasting every day, the station offers training in radio presentation and production to local young people. Our music library is stored on a laptop. Our current laptop is slow and outdated. £500 would allow us to purchase a new laptop which would offer faster, more secure storage for our library. It would also allow us to store more tunes, broadening the range of music that we play to our listeners.
More information about the station can be found at www.3tfm.org.uk/about
Saltcoats Christmas Carnival
2024-09-04 • No comments • • Three Towns
The Saltcoats Christmas Carnival was started many years ago to provide Christmas lights in Saltcoats – this evolved over the years and has become a full carnival. This provides a much needed free day out for families in the local community, when everything else related to Christmas is so expensive this event gives some relief from that. The day includes, entertainment all through the town with a staged area with local and up and coming artists performing, including dance schools and primary schools, we will have 3 santas grottos including an ASN grotto (and disco) that will be fully accessible, activities in Saltcoats Town Hall, Santa abseiling from the clock tower and a large fairground. There will also be a mobile cinema street entertainers and a few other surprises!
Main costs:
Fairground £8k
Independent H&S £800
Donations to local groups for support/assisting on day £500
First Aid: £330
Santas Grotto set up, selection boxes and books = £1500
Entertainement - Starlite (staging, PA,) £500
Road Closures, licences, & venue (town hall) £1500
Mobile cinema £200
Abseiling Santa/street entertainment £500
Miscellaneous £1000
Marketing and advertising materials for the event donated by Clyde studios
The event is planned and organised by a small group of volunteers who have skills and experience in different areas. External professionals are brought in for things like Health and Safety, Insurance etc.
On the day we have many groups that help including; ATC, Sea Cadets, Guiding, Scouts, and NAC community officers.
A £1000 donation would help make this event magical and give families memories that will last a long time. In the age we are living in people are struggling more and an event like this not only gives experience and fun but takes some pressure off of parents and caregivers.
